Boral’s new Permeable Pavers are designed to allow drainage through the paving suface, reducing stormwater runoff, flooding, erosion, and drainage problems. Available in nine standard colors, each paver is notched out every 3 inches around its perimeter to produce six rectangular voids: two on each long side and one on each end. When the pavers are installed in a pattern, the voids intermesh to form a 1-inch x 7/8-inch opening, creating 12 percent open space per square foot. The pavers measure 4 inches x 8 inches and are available in 2 1/4-inch-thick pedestrian and light-vehicular applications. boralbricks.com
